Hoping maybe He drops by the Forum some times. grimmye
Hi Grimmye,
Sorry about that, been thrashing to get everything on my plate done. This is the first time I have spent more than a couple of minutes on the computer in the last few days. Spoilers have been more work so they are taking longer but hey, they are shipping out at a steady rate now. Yours should not be long. My operation is doing good all things considered. I am a little more spread out in terms of what I am doing to keep the cash flow going. I would prefer to concentrate on the body parts but thank God I am keeping busy
Thanks for update. I'm in no hurry as I am not going anywhere's in the near future (had two teeth pulled this past Tuesday). Glad to hear you are keeping busy. Best of luck from grimmye

Turned out pretty good..............I was worried obout how the rear spoiler would look, but I really like it! It looks more like a chevrolet spoiler...I really don't like those "wing" spoilers...

Actually George, you ordered on 4-25-08. I still apoligize for it is taking this long. Some small issues that take more hand labor. Yours will go out this next week. You are fifth down on about 30 more that need delivered. If you prepayed two years ago, please PM me a reminder if you have not received yours already. Give me the date and or method you payed with. Make it easier for me to find your info. Thank you.
Once again, please phone , e-mail or PM me a name and Ph # so I can call you when we get rolling on this. So far I have 11 names and numbers for this intro price. The price will adjust once I have a feel for whats involved with making this part. Appreciate you folks that are helping make this happen
Eric, You told me that the price was not firm and look at POST #65 dated 8/14/06 and you will see the order pm. 2 years ago. You didn't have a price to give me until you got another fab guy. Then the order was paid for. 4 months ago. Several pm's and phone calls to you over a long period of time doesn't count in your mind but does for the records I have. I have been patient while you went thru the metamorphic process with this spoiler. I dont really care to split hairs on the forum with you, just want the product. I am glad the bugs have been worked out and the Fanatics are giving glowing opinions on the pieces fit and finish. or how about a "Git-R-Done"

Eric never said any records were missing.
An actual order means to pre-pay. Did you pre-pay on 8/14/06?
I wanted to chime in to help you understand a bit about Erics shop.
1) Eric does not crank out mass numbers of parts just for profits.
2) He does not hire cheap labor to build them.
3) If the part does not meet his (extremely high) standards, it is rejected.
4) His hands phisically touch every part that's shipped.
5) Every piece he makes is made as if it were going on his own car.
Good things take time. Since Eric is the best, it takes just a little longer.
"Glowing opinions" seems like a down-play. Superior quality & fit is not an opinion, it is a fact!
The wait is always the hardest part. When your part arrives, you will be glad Eric did not ship the parts the moulding shop tried to slip past him, & may have a "glowing opinion" of your own.
To date, I've purchased two hoods, one Ram Air and one cowl (which took 8 months from prototype to delivery), one set of running boards, two rear spoilers, two chin spoilers (which took one year and ten months from the time I ordered them to delivery) and one of the new grille spears which I received last week as a test piece in extremely hot weather (Phoenix).
I can say without hesitation that each and every piece is top notch and required a minimum of fitment effort.
